BAMIYAN, Afghanistan — All routes connecting Bamiyan province’s seven districts have been reopened after being blocked by heavy snowfalls, said Saboor Farzan Saighani, the Taliban provincial governor‘s spokesman.
He said that key routes in areas including Qonaq, Shato, Aabqol Kerman, Bekak, Hajigak, and Shiber are now accessible. However, he cautioned that some routes may close again due to ongoing storms.
The heavy snowfall had paralyzed transportation in Bamiyan, cutting off its districts from each other and from neighboring provinces.
Across Afghanistan, adverse weather conditions have created widespread disruptions. Many routes remain impassable due to deteriorated conditions, compounded by inadequate snow removal infrastructure. Residents in affected regions have voiced concerns about mounting hardships, including restricted access to health care and other essential services.
